what's the basis for your opinion? the stock stagger is similar to the e46 m3, and plenty of people are doing non-staggered wheels/tires for track use in that car.

as a math whiz and an asian, i guess i'd disagree. being able to rotate the tires means that you are more likely to replace the set at the same time, which means less trips to the tire store-- not exactly cost, but convenience to be sure. also, rear tires don't wear on the outer edges nearly as fast as the fronts-- being able to swap tires front to back helps get the most wear out of them.
i do hear you about correct camber and alignment.
